80 Year Old Gymnast

This 80-year-old gymnast is probably more flexible than you! When you think about hobbies for the elderly, gymnastics probably isn’t high on that list. But Marjorie Scholes is defying all expectations and is still leaping, tumbling and balancing on the gym floor – at 80 years old. The grandmother only started gymnastics when she was 76, and this month she came second in the 2019 Adult Gymnastics British Championships – over 45s category.
